Best in Show 2013: Affenpinscher wins at Westminster Dog Show
Banana Joe, the tiny Affenpinscher, took home Best In Show honors at the Westminster Dog Show on Tuesday night.
Here’s Banana Joe, making the leap up to his brand new throne.
Ernesto Lara, the dog’s handler, said afterwards that Banana Joe will likely skip off into the sunset and retire to the Netherlands after his Westminster victory.
Reserve Best In Show went to the Old English Sheepdog, Swagger, who looks as though he probably would have had a few words to say to Banana Joe in this moment, if he could talk and all.
Affenpinschers, according to Westminster’s web site, are nicknamed “moustached little devils” in France because of their punchy take on dog life. They hold themselves in high regard, but are eager to please those around them. The mark of a true champion.
